- The Rust back-story 2019 EDITION | A Rust lore documentary
How do the Scientist compound, Lab, Bandit camp, Cargo ship and Oil rigs fit into the back-story? What new things are yet to come and may shed further light on the history of the island? All will be revealed in this documentary.
This video is a new update to my original Rust back-story video, and a culmination of many months of research into the world of Rust.
Note: I don't know what the back-story really is, this is all at best speculation and the true story is firmly in the hands of the developers to reveal to us when they're ready. Thanks to Facepunch for giving us the world of Rust.

The only aim in Rust is to survive.
To do this you will need to overcome struggles such as hunger, thirst and cold. Build a fire. Build a shelter. Kill animals for meat. Protect yourself from other players, and kill them for meat. Create alliances with other players and form a town.
Whatever it takes to survive.
Stay Rusty

SHADOWFRAX a game theory
maybe being found on the beach is how babi is born, and we've all been lied to over the years, we are all just washed up on the shoreline, like the riffraff we are.

How do all the lag spikes and stutters fit into the plot?? 🤔🤔
ever watched Lost if so its like when the static hits them and everyone is messed up for abit XD
They're in the matrix
The stutters are actually the nuclear radiation constantly eating through your skull
And how the immortality is linked to your sleeping device...?
Potato...
This video should be viewed and liked by anyone who has ever played RUST.
Facepunch should make this like on their website or something
whats with those who never played rust but still watch this
I don't play RUST but I like watching those who do so I always watch Frax to keep up on the new stuff and he always get's a thumbs up : )
I haven't
@@AverageAlien /madlad
He needs to make another one of these
He does!
In regards to the use of Out-Dated technologies in modern applications from corporations or organizations that obviously have money to spare.. I recently just got out of the US military and in my experience there with ballistic missile systems (anything electronic related really), older technology is preferred over the use of newer technology due to its survivability and versatility. While older technology does have its faults, it his highly repairable and customizable where-in new technology excels at being reliable but almost always requires special equipment to repair it. Equipment that in a situation where time is crucial or specialized supplies are unavailable (war-zone, extremely remote locations, post-appocalyptica), would prevent the strategic mission from being able to be completed or conducted in the first place. On the money front; Just because the technology is older, does not necessarily mean it isn't expensive. Without disclosing too much, I will say that the circuit boards i've used for repairs are egregiously expensive. This is because while the technology it self is dated, the world has moved on. So have the manufacturing techniques and the companies that manufactured older "technology". To have a modern company manufacture new circuitry that is 50 years old requires a bid (which will certainly cost more than the initial estimate) to reverse engineer the manufacturing process, have the machines.. well.. machined, and begin the manufacturing from the ground up. Teir 1 components compiled into teir 2, and 3 and so on and so forth. @SHADOWFRAX your on the right track with the old technology and wealthy companies bit and I hope this helps bring some exposure to the reason why it would be utilized in a situation like this.
Thank you
Wooow thats a Long comment
A wall of letters just for a comment from the creator of vid ad a random dude. Pog for that creator cment and Pog for that random dude
@@SHADOWFRAX that the equivalent to saying

Whats really cool is that I think FacePunch is taking things Shadowfrax is saying and implementing stuff to follow this storyline.
Shadowfrax has do connections to the devs and they are not opposed at all to the idea that someone would make this good of a story for them. They probably watch his vids. I would absolutelly watch videos of my own game if I was a dev.
I have wondered about this myself (If FP will just save time and work by following Shadowfrax's lore ideas).
I'd say its the other way around.
The devs slowly filtering information to Shadow and have him relay it to the community.
@@Shifty319 Not a bad idea, they could even use it to sort of test the water on certain ideas they might have and if people hate it they can just steer clear
i hope this turns out to be true
Personally, would really love if the devs started dropping some Easter egg like clues every so often to give more obvious back story (but don’t tell anyone they’re putting stuff in - just drop it) - be nice to go searching for some secret stuff to find out some new bits and pieces idk
That's the exact plan on the roadmap.
No one:
"Test" subject: REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

they've lost all their brain cells respawning too many times
That's just a theory... you know the rest

Petition for a 2020 2021 2022 and 2023 lore update
I think Cobalt wants to learn how and why the survivors (and rest of the life on the island) keep coming back to life for their own agenda in the overall. I don't think they would share this knowledge with the rest of the world should they find out how this works. Being this close to understanding this they keep sending equipment & men to stabilize the situation on the island that has almost gotten out of hand. But being low on funds they cannot send an army since Cobalt can't purchase one OR they can but would make too much of a ruckus and the west would realize that something serious is going on there and would end Cobalt as a whole. Either way, the west still doesn't know that immortality has been achieved, otherwise we would see thousands of troops invade the island, killing us enough times till they capture us and end our insanity of murdering each other for "AKs" and similar. I also think that bandits really were bandits but realized at some point that killing makes no sense since everyone keeps coming back to "REEE" at them so they just locked a zone where people can have fun, and ofcourse where they make a clean profit most of the time, thus remained named "Bandit camp" to us yet we know that they don't shoot on sight (any more).
Yes that could be the case. We are still waiting to see exactly what the situation with Cobalt is and exactly how 'covert' their operation is.
I agree. Also Cobalt could be using the oil rigs as a way to fund the operation on the Island.
@@duderlotzi1482 Yep!
bandit camp doesn't shoot on sight anymore because they were running out of bullets
TH-cam: Shadow Frax just released a new backstory video!
Me: I’M GLAD TO HEAR THAT
Andrew Burger was that meant too be funny bro?
JangaMaster Lmao it’s a reference to one of his older playthroughs of a game called Frostpunk and was a long running joke
Arrow Head Check out his play through of Frostpunk, you’ll understand ;)
Wow! The amount of work being put into this is amazing! So much more information is presented, makes the game a lot more clear! Keep up the great work!
Thank you!
@SHADOWFRAX I think Wangen must be constantly sending in military supplies and Koreans to my neighbors...including new tech that lets them see through walls and head shot me 12 times in 4 seconds. Is that item on the roadmap yet?
OMG I THINK YOU CRACKED IT XD
IM ROLLING ON THE FLOORXD 🤣🤣😂😂🤜🏿🤜🏿
This right here!!! LMFAO!!!!
bahahaha this guy bruhhh
LMAO
Can't wait till facepunch actually starts making a lore in the game
I'm waiting....
they should just copy this one, its too good
I think facepunch is just gonna add on to shadowfrax's theories
I think they are building off his ideas
I think they kindof already are. Because in the roadmap they say "through hidden messages and items" and we have a lot of that already.
12:20 maybe there is a kill switch embedded in the test subjects that irradiate them to death when they try to leave.
Edit: gonna go one step further and say if they're immortal, then the scientists probably just throw the bodies into the ocean so the subjects will wake up on the beach.
The throwing the bodies in the water is a good thought.
If the subjects had a kill switch then they wouldn't struggle when the naked raid the oil rig and ships.
A theory that fits better could be that simply the radiation, which is assumed to be the cause of the life regeneration, hasn't radiated the outer parts of the island. The island's radiation could work like a life support which causes immortality for the organic matter on the islands.
I quit playing rust, and this video has literally brought a new meaning to the game for me hence bringing the love and drive to play back. Thank you for this masterpeice.
Great work on the back story! One thing I've noticed, which lines up with the back story and the assumption of the bandits being the yin, is that if you wear the heavy scientist hazmat suit and visit the bandit camp you are attacked right away.
Just a fun fact I think you've never mentioned :)
Shadow my operation went successfully and I will recover fully in a couple of week thank for keeping me going 😀
I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT!
Sry I haven’t read what this was about but I want to tell you if that people are here to support you for all the hard times you have
I was hyping this glad I get to watch it
Without Cobalt/Wangen human regeneration technology, Rust would be the most beautiful "Run from nakeds for 30 seconds then die permanently of blunt force trauma" game ever created. Another amazing piece of research, Frax!!
My explanation on the bandits and the reason for the ship having radiation upon leaving would be this. If you die on the island and are brought back to life, you are stuck there (explains hapis as well) the bandits were maybe the original crew who were there when the bomb dropped, they died, came back. If they tried to leave via the next cargo ship, they would find out that something went wrong. The radiation binded to them and is what in reality is keeping them alive. The areas of the island that give us rads, are actually clean. So when leaving the influence of the island they get poisoned by the non radiated air. So if they couldn't leave the island, they quit cobalt and chose the life of the bandit.
Perhaps that is why it is called HAPIS? It's a possibility that once there you can never leave..
I wonder if they'll give the option to "join" a group later (like, respawn in that group's safezone, get a few bonus items on respawn) but it will make the other group hostile towards you? Maybe also how many people pick a side effects how the story evolves...
But that's just an idea based on what Shadowfrax has fleshed out.
I would love if Rust was like that because now clans dominate anyways. If everyone needed to pick a side on example: "Cobalt, Bandits or the Western armies" it would make all solos now friendly with clans that play on their faction! It would be awesome, random solos helping out that one big boy clan. :D

The original rust back story is why I subscribed
Enjoy!
i remember when rust had zombies and cans of tuna
It still has Tuna, as for zombies, check the FAQ in the pinned comment.
I said it before and I will say it again Master Shadowfrax has got it down. His ability to look it the back story of Rust makes sense to me. Please Master Shadowfrax don't stop because we love what you do. Peace and love to all
Thanks
No thank you!!
I'm working on my own little side project with a custom map in tow, but this definitely helped for inspiration! Perfect as always shadowfrax
Cool, hope it comes out well
"As the name Lazarus is one closely associated with ressurection"
Mass Effect 2 anyone?
im pretty sure he is talking about the lazarus from the bible not from mass effect...
Batman?
@@noot-noot3397 Yea I know, but ME2 was the first thing that came to mind :P
More like Bioshock.
I think the bandits are native Angolans. It could be possible that before Cobalt established itself on the island, it was home to an Angolan colony, which would explain the gold dredge and ramshackle housing surrounding it. It would make no sense for members of Cobalt’s colony to live in these houses, as they’re of a much lower quality compared to Cobalt’s usual housing of utilitarian apartments and tenements. Therefore it’s a possibility that the residents of the Bandit Camp, Fishing Village and Ranch are either indigenous Angolans who managed to stay under the radar during Cobalt’s rise and downfall, or opportunists who sailed from the mainland.
The moment Facepunch has the full story done, they should ask you to make the official 'Story behind Rust' video
I'm on standby
Face punch should hire you to help them implement the lore aspect into Rust. I really think you nailed whatever they were going for, and if they didn’t think it that much they need you to do it for them!
I think the outdated equipments has to do with government founding. The government supplying cobalt with old unused gear and equipment because they are not in use anymore because there has been upgrades to them. A good example of this is in the vietnam war where the soviet union and america founded the vietnamese(north and south) with older weapons that were not in use because they were not as technological advanced as their new weapons.
But that still doesn't answer how some scientists became so THICCCC
When they open their flap in the back of their suit to poo near a radiation area for lack of restrooms.
Excellent survey of potential Rust lore. Superb overview and a great edit, Shadow! 👌🏼
Thanks Fridu!

Nope im pretty sure the GOC is in
@@noplesnono9656 yeah global occult coalition seems more logical
Amazing work once again. Im surpriced if these lore videos wont affect on developers, unless you just hit right on spot and solved their mysteries.
I really love this!
Thanks for uploading these awesome videos, i was wondering if you could upload one, but just a 2020 edition?
I think RUST updates such as cars is we as people of the rust world evolving.
I have been looking forward to this for awhile. Time to sit and learn a thing or two.
Haven’t played Rust in ages but still watch all your videos, love your content and watching the game evolve. Keep up the great work brother
So why dont you just play it?
Perk all my friends have moved on from Rust or I probably would still play it, don’t really enjoy goin solo
@@jangamaster8677 Oh what do yall play now and why yall move on from rust? I'm asking coz im planning to buy the game and wanna if ppl still have fun playing it or is it kinda dead?
@@perk8601 trust me the game is not dead but it may be one of the roughest games in the universe literally every single f****** player is going to kill on sight so going solo is a tough choice you can still trust players and the community is really good but you gotta have to choose who you trust because people will stab your back
the game is extremely fun but if you don't have a badass computer you won't be able to run it properly it's one of the most demanding games
Perk the game is still good with a decent community. But I can only play one game so long, had over 1200hrs n just got bored. Then once my friends got bored too we moved too other games, I’ve played too many too count since then
Enjoyed this along with my steak and kidney pie... And a Bud Light.
Now that im done i shall pack a bowl of Sour Diesel and continue playing Rust.. Thanks Frax
Addikkt
They should just hire you to write and narrate their backstory. This is better than most cut scenes and back story in AAA games.
idk why but i find your videos very very,relaxing.i am just gonna grab a popcorn and ill brb.
Make sure you're not in the bath, there's some terrible statistics for that
@@SHADOWFRAX popcorns in baths? I'm intrigued.

Maybe Dr. Newman didn't evacuate his workers. Maybe the bandit camp people are Dr. Newman's workers that established the camp.
Toxikz Although this is an interesting theory, I believe that his workers (who would be scientists, engineers and for the most part intellectual individuals) would be able to create better weaponry, armour and buildings.
@@IRTG2006 Well since the areas where the scientist worked are radiated, I doubt that they could get ahold of the proper materials, so they scrounged up everything they could and made the bandit camp.
I an kinda crying right now! I remember watching my first rust video and watching this game is like watching my child grow up, from legacy to now!
The Stories is Interesting and all but can we give this guy more likes and view for the beautiful point of view he shows us during the video i mean waw its beautiful
The first bite is with the eye!
I WAS WAITIN ALL DAY AND NIGHT
Have some pie for your dedication.
thx shadowfrax. i always wait for your updates on rust
Thank you Shadowfrax, very cool
Thanks
So you got a new back story but shadow... wheres the horse saddle?
Helk is grappling with the leather right now I believe
@@SHADOWFRAX so it's made of leather. quite a material
One possibility for the "cloning chambers" aboard the cargo ship is to house survivors to run additional tests on them, like getting blood and tissue samples, rather than for cloning people.
Though there original purpose may have been cloning, they could have been re-pursued for the use stated above.
Nah fam were all hear just for Helk to take pictures of our peters using a giant camera in the sky.
OMG I THINK YOU CRACKED IT XD
IM ROLLING ON THE FLOORXD 🤣🤣😂🤣🤣🤜🏿🤜🏿
Shadow you should do another Terminus wipe. Favorite youtuber for rust! Stay Rusty!
I would if Terminus still existed.. :(
F@@SHADOWFRAX
Other than just being a game thing why is there always loot at the top of things like launch site? Not like anyone’s going up there to restock
The island is set up to test the survivors, the loot and airdrops are to facilitate this
SHADOWFRAX ahhhhhh thank you
What if cobalt funds all the research with the two oio rigs and that is why the oil rigs are that heavily protected! And if they notice someone is on there, they send heavy armed scientists to defend the oil rig
they need to add a function like when the server wipes there's a nuke event which the players must try and stop the nuke from blowing the island with a lot of pvp and pve as a nice ending to the wipe.
THIS I am in favour of.. in fact I discussed it in a CONCEPT LIMBO episode a while back
i love you from turkey ShadowFRAX!
Back at ya from the UK!
I like the 'survival of human race" angle.
I think more likely the scientists use old equipment because they don't want the prisoners to have an easy time getting too much high grade military hardware
SHADOWFRAX, you've outdone yourself again! Thanks for another great video.. and awesome back story addition! I always pull up a seat when I see you've posted another. Cheers!
Thank you very much!
Hi, Shadowfrax, Nice Video. Thx for it.
But I think its time to give the 2022 version:d
maybe as a Christmas present?;)
thx
They should have a event where the scientist raid bandit camp idk or add bandits that run around and are friendly unless shot at or see a scientist.
Now that I would like to see.
Most awaited video of 2019
I had thought the bandits might just represent the fact that you never spawn as the first clone. The bandits are clones that have been around longer than you and just represent your final, inevitable end. Surviving as best you can whilst being watched, no escape and do the best you can. They gamble, they drink. They are making the best of a bad situation.
This really butters my pie
If Tesla and SpaceX existed in the Cold War... Maybe Doctor Neumann is Musk's father.. Musk was born in 1971..
Now there's a thought...
@@SHADOWFRAX musk is South African. Coincidence? I think not.
Spot on analysis Frax, couldn't find a hole in your theories. As to the electricity across the island...
Geothermal would make sense being underground, but wouldn't explain the island climates. Nuclear is another good hypothesis, but again same issue. As far as I can tell Rust hasn't dabbled in the world of scifi/futurism, but some form of electromagnetism is the only theory I can postulate to answer those two questions.
Keep up the good work man!
We love to see you make a 2020 backstory!! ❤️

Ill be waiting...
I can’t play Rust so i really like to watch gameplays etc. Especially this video which you spend a lot of time and made me learn more about the game! Keep it up! 😁
No problem chap, hope you enjoyed.
if like the whole gameplays and not just 5min before raiding start look up TheTurboBeef on twitch he screams like 50+ hours a week + he has a normal job too so he works and plays rust
i love how rust isnt lore driven what so ever but has an interesting unofficial backstory from what we have gathered.
Ive literally never seen that cargo ship with helicopters and bradley
Made popcorn btw love the vid
It's 2021! I'm so excited to hear about your new ideas of the Rust lore :D
I watched this whilst eating two beef pies, which heightened my enjoyment.
Now we have to wait for the 2020 edition? That's too long for me
There will be other vids in between that are more than worthy
but the to be continued series with long breaks can shadow others series, it is like putting horse blinders on human
We need a 2023 edition!
You should do another update with the crops and their genetics
You remain now and forever always "The Man" =) Excellent job!
THAANK YOUFOR THIS VIDEOOOO IHAVE BEEN WHAITING SO LOONF🛵😀😀😀😀😀 Looove you and your videos
I turned my ad blocker off and refreshed the page and there was still no ads...
They are not guaranteed every time
my theory about the temperature and climate differences on the island is that the unknown power source (probably underground on the island) is an old cobalt nuclear power prototype of sorts that is so powerful it has a profound heat pollution effect on the island, such that it cools part of the island as cooling intake and heats another part of the island as the thermal exhaust.
This is actually what I postulated in the previous vids. Glad to see someone else on my wavelength!
When the game crashes in the middle of a gunfight, your survivor had flashbacks of past clone lives of the war and loses the “mental link” with the player in control until you warmed up all the prefabs
i got my thicc pie here and im ready to go
Noice
How can you explain the scientists selling their own blue card?
Many things that the scientists do are to facilitate the survival training that is clearly going on on the island.
The guy has an answer for everything. Love it frax continue like that bro
I’m glad TH-cam recommended me this vid about a year ago at the beginning of pandemic, you’ve been one of my fav entertainers and I love all of the content and your humor
What i think is that the scientists are spooky scary skeletons in hazmats, because u only get cloth and bone frags from harvesting them :P
This island, really remembers me of Pënemunde, a compound built by germany during WWII to make research on ballsitic missiles and rockets, it was a small community by itself, almost
edit: maybe the bandits, are the original clones that decided to create a community together and claim an already old mining facility that was here before the arrival of cobalt
I was thinking this too. Originally the bandits said "no nakeds" because they realized that even though they were clone nakeds once, they were actually building a sustainable life for themselves and knew nakeds to just be raging looters or in need of too much help. After they got established they opened their doors because they were more secure AND understood that they were nakeds once.
Anyone else wonder what facepunch has planned for 5/10/24?
Well, we will find out tomorrow.
Never said enough: "GREAT WORK" :)
Thank you
I like to think of the show "Lost" and the we are the "Others" running around the island
